Produced by David Starner, Diane Monico, and The Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The New York Idea" by Langdon Mitchell is a comedy play written in the early 20th century. This work explores themes of marriage, divorce, and the complexities of social relationships in a post-Victorian New York society. The central characters include Philip Phillimore, a judge, and Cynthia Karslake, a spirited woman, navigating their tumultuous feelings towards love and societal expectations. At the start of the play, we are introduced to the Phillimore family and the impending marriage of Philip to Cynthia, a recently divorced woman. The opening scenes establish a satirical social commentary on the frivolity within their elite circles as various family members and acquaintances express their opinions about the divorcees' remarriage. As the characters engage in witty banter over tea, we see their struggles with societal norms and personal histories, setting the stage for a comedic exploration of love, expectations, and the repercussions of their choices.
